One of my favourite is asciidoc.<br></blockquote><div></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">I see that asciidoc is text format. That for me, personally, is the number 1 reason for using any document writing tool. It has to be in text format so that only the actual changes can be checked into GIT (like github does) without checking in a whole bunch of stuff -- that was the major problem with using the original .odt format. So Latex fits and exists just about everywhere. You may be right that other tools would fit even better. As there is a lot of work to get a good document completed and to keep it updated, the current set of people doing the work have to be happy with which tool is being used and I have to be able to change it continuously as the developer changes stuff so frequently. I think I can learn to use Latex most easily because of my background.<br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">The MAJOR GOAL right now is to get the document in a correct and current state, and as .odt, it was not easily fixed. Once in Latex there is still a lot of work to get it updated to actually match the software. If in the future, other considerations come into play, it sounds like it could be switched over if needed.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
